Releases

ngSkinTools 2.0.3

  • Fri, Jul 3, 2020
  • macOS builds;
  • Added: optionally hide unselected vertices (“Paint/Display settings/Hide unselected vertices”);
  • Added: converting layers ngSkinTools v1 to v2. This should help make an easier transition for V1 users. The conversion is a one-way action, so make sure you have a copy of your scene if you intent to continue your work in V1;
  • Added: “transfer layers” action, for copying layers between meshes;
  • Fixed: “create new layer” is few times faster now, but this will only be noticeable on high density meshes;
  • Fixed: Maya crashes if started in batch mode while ngSkinTools is installed (fix backported from V1);
  • Fixed: selecting current influence on screen does not correctly update “selected influences” in UI.

Compatibility: Maya 2018 Maya 2019 Maya 2020

ngSkinTools 2.0.2

  • Tue, Mar 24, 2020

Bug fixes:

  • Fixed: when paint is started in “isolate selected” mode, paint surface is not shown;
  • Fixed: paint tab / display settings: display values not consistent with viewport between closing/opening viewport;
  • Fixed: after toggling to original mesh, animation is not updating for that mesh while paint tool is active;
  • Fixed: painting appears to be stuck if painting with 1.0 brush over 1.0 painted area - only brushes that update weights refresh brush cursor.

Not fixed:

  • Stylus pressure handling is not working properly: probably a Maya 2020 bug; filed a bug to Autodesk to investigate;

Minor life quality improvements:

  • Paint tab, “Show original mesh” button will appear to be pressed down when original mesh is visible;
